Beautiful home in a quiet cove
This house is beautiful. It is set up high and you can see the quiet cove down below. There is a dock that we tied our boat up to every night. You have to put your boat in at the public boat launch though which was a bit inconvenient. The closest one is close by water but far by car, or there is one close by car and far by water. So plan ahead for that if you are bringing a boat. The drive and walk down to the dock are VERY steep. So do not attempt to bring a boat or trailer to the house by road.
The home is very beautiful and was very well stocked (other than a can opener which we told the owners about and they said they will get on that right away). You can tell that it is newer home..so new that there are no window coverings as of yet. So if you aren't an early riser, I would recommend bringing an eye mark because the rooms get bright early with the sun. But the view from the windows was well worth it. There is a beautiful upper deck overlooking the cove as well. Both bedrooms open up to the deck.
The location is very close to Shanghai resort which was fun to go for food and drinks and boat gas every morning. The quiet cove was super fun to float and swim in too! The water is so warm. It is right by some floating houses so it's in a no wake zone.
This lake was new to us and very big! It took us a bit to figure out where to go to do the activities that we like to do. Grab a map at Shanghai. It's very helpful because you lose phone service on the lake quite often.
